Are heavier and thornier demands making you consider investing in a larger machine? Hold on a minute. You may be surprised to know how you can extend your tractor’s capabilities with a simple, industrial-strength, bucket-extending tooth bar.
Customers have called this skid- and track-loader accessory a game-changer that has “totally transformed little Johnny” into a “digging machine!”
The physics is simple. How many times have you spun your wheels in the mud with the blunt force of a 50” bucket edge trying to push into hard-packed earth? Now compare the easy no-slip clamp-on bar of protruding teeth, each tooth spearing the dense clod separately as it crumbles into the bucket, grabbing roots and brush as it goes.
Landscapers, farmers, construction workers, and gardeners find tooth bars just the ticket to deepen excavation, dig up trees, and clear brush that a standard loader bucket can’t handle.
Two Heavy Hitch tooth bar owners raved that their ramped-up skid loaders now felt more like a “tank.” As one put it, “It ripped through 16” of rock and clay!” The other described it this way:
For only $300-500, considering you could do jobs you previously had to pay subcontractors to do, it will pay you back in no time, and make you feel like you have a brand new machine!
Rack and pinion owners report that their bucket extenders have expanded the capabilities of their loaders in many ways. For example, it enabled one owner to help a neighbour dig a hole for a swimming pool. Another owner was finally able to complete the irritating problem of the excavator leaving half a pond on their land.
I bought a rack and pinion with a heavy duty bucket. It is very well constructed and the bolt holes line up perfectly with the existing holes in the cutting edge. This makes getting on and off very easy. I’ve been using it for the past few months …… but today I really tested it out. I have a large clay pile that has been settling and packing for years with lots of 5-10 foot trees growing in it. It has worked very well. Not only did it break up the hard clay, but it did a great job of popping those trees out and raking them out of the pile. Without the tines I would never have been able to get into that pile. For the price, I would recommend anyone who owns a tractor to have one of these on hand. It really expands the versatility of the tractor.
Is there a project you’ve been neglecting because you know your skid steer or track loader isn’t up to the job? Is it time to dig out that tree stump? Or lure the deer closer this hunting season with a new watering hole?
With this super versatile attachment, do it your way.
The tines are manufactured by different companies, in different thicknesses and using different grades of steel. Some customers are concerned about the wear and tear of the bucket tooth metal on the concrete surface, or that their buckets will not support the larger loads and could potentially bend their buckets.
